Berger Fohr Deceit 16x9

Deceit

Deceit (2011) is a one-off conceptual work created in collaboration with artist and fabricator Kristian Kluver for Design After Dark, a design-based exhibition held by the Denver Art Museum (DAM) Design Council. Responding to the theme of weight,” the piece subverted the premise of the show by integrating the plinth into the artwork itself — replacing the standard pedestal with a work that matched the same footprint and vertical dimension as the others. This conceptual maneuver blurred the distinction between object and support, challenging conventional display hierarchies and prompting a reconsideration of structure, presence, and perception.
